Of One Accord <\/b>As the discipled prayed for power, they were united in one purpose.\u00a0 They concentrated on the job ahead and focused their attention on what was needed.\u00a0 This should also be a time when the church concentrates on what needs to be done and what the church will need to carry it out. Summer is a good time for the church to concentrate its resources on reaching the lost while children are out of school, younger workers have the time, and weather is at its best. It should begin gathering what it will need to carry out its mission during Eastertide to be ready when summer begins.\u00a0 However, many churches have lost interest in Pentecost and no longer focus on reaching the lost during the summer.\u00a0\u00a0 As a result, they do not do anything during the rest of the year when people are often busy with school and other activities.<\/p>\n
